Television actor Sanil Sodhi arrested for mailing nude photo

Sanil Sodhi is a television actor who
is recently in the news for debauchery. He has acted in a few television
serials such as “Hum”, “Ladies Special”, “Phir Bhi” and “Rishte”. He also
worked at the theatres and been part of Hindi language plays like “Bench Park”
and “Raj Darbar”. Recently it had been reported that he was detained.

The Mumbai police have arrested him on
the grounds of sending a woman vulgar and lewd photographs and messages through
his Blackberry Messenger.

The woman who has received these messages
is a thirty-three year old married woman who had been his friend. He had sent
about 25 nude photographs of himself to this woman. Hours after sending these
messages on Sunday night- Jan 20th-
he was arrested by the Mumbai police.

The actor has been charged under the
section- 509 of IPC (Indian Penal Code) and section- 67 of ITA (Information
Technology Act) for transmitting vulgar content electronically.

Sanil Sodhi has also acted in two
Bollywood films. One was “Hu Tu Tu” that starred in the lead roles Suniel
Shetty and Tabu. The other was “Hazaar Chaurasi Ki Ma”, which included veteran
actors Nandita Das and Jaya Bachchan.

Some time back similar cases had been
in the news when small-time actors or filmmakers had to be arrested by the
police.

Earlier on Rani Mukerji’s brother Raja
Mukerji was reported to have asked for sexual favors from an aspiring
television actress named Priya Mishra. He then tried to molest her when she did
not give in to his demands.

The girl reported against him to the
police after which a medical test was carried out. A case was then filed under the
section of 354 of the IPC (Indian Penal Code). He was then sent to Andheri jail
by the police officials.

Bobby Vats who has acted in some
serials and has appeared in films such as “Halla Bol”, “Aa Dekhen Zara” and
“Kismat Love Paisa Dilli” was in trouble.

His girlfriend of one year who is
studying at an engineering college levied against him charges of attempt to
rape. The girl had been his live-in partner. She also accused him of brutally
beating her up when she battled against his rape attempts.

These small-time actors and filmmakers’
foothold in the television and film industry have been very weak. To add to
that these repulsive incidents will only prove fatal for their career.
